Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece correctly with the proper type of
vise or crown molding stoppers.
Failure to do so
may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
until it has come to a complete stop.
The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level.
Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.
Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.
